I haven't played this online for months (Call of Duty fan!)
Just come back online over christmas & i'm frustrated with this game already - is it me or does it seem like the higher ranked you get the worse cards & dice rolls you receive?
Or is it the lateness of the hour & the fact i've lost games due to poor cards & dice rolls going against me that it seems like this?
Rant over..........Back to CoD! At least on the face of it that game is down to some semblance of skill & not luck alone!
Bah humbug.....

But to answer your question, Memoir '44 is a game of skill with a large element of luck involved in card draws and dice rolls. On average the more skilled players will win the majority of games. Nevertheless, on any given day, luck may shine on the neophyte and he may hand the expert a defeat. But this is more an exception than the rule.

But overly aggressive play may punish you. Patient, measured strategy wins more often. This may be a different tactic than to which you are accustomed.
Admitedly it ain't chess. However, I find it a good balance of strategy and luck and enjoy it immensely.

When you lose on the board game it may take an evening to play a few games. You can lose quicker and faster in the automated game increasing that sense of loss. I believe it it more perception than reality.
